If you’ve ever dreamed of spending a few days wrapped up in a cozy robe, moving from one relaxing spot to the next, then a robe trip to Rotorua is exactly what you need! Here, we take chilling out seriously. So grab your fluffiest robe, leave your worries behind, and let’s dive into the ultimate itinerary for your laid-back adventure. We present to you… the ultimate robe trip to Rotorua!
Day 1: Settle In & Take It Easy
First things first, check into your accommodation and get comfy. No need to rush – this trip is all about slowing down. Start with an amble through the Government Gardens, where you can soak up the peaceful vibes and admire the gorgeous park landscaping. If you’re feeling fancy, stop by one of the local cafés for a coffee before heading back to your accommodation to fully embrace robe mode.
Day 2: Forest Bathing & Hot Tub Bliss
After a lazy morning (because, why not?), head out to the Whakarewarewa Forest. This place is pure magic, with towering redwoods and trails that make you feel a million miles away from the world. Soak in the fresh air and let nature do its thing, after all this is what ‘forest bathing’ is all about.
Next, it’s time to really unwind at Secret Spot Hot Tubs. Tucked away on the edge of the forest, Secret Spot offers individual cedar hot tubs filled with fresh spring water, heated to the perfect temperature. The best part? You can sip on a craft beer, wine, or even a hot chocolate while you soak, thanks to our push-button drink service. Oh, and don’t forget to dip your feet in a free Shinny Dip foot hot tub before you leave – because even your toes deserve a treat.
Day 3: Geothermal Wonders & Cultural Connections
You can’t visit Rotorua without checking out its epic geothermal attractions. Head over to Te Puia, home to the mighty Pōhutu Geyser, the biggest geyser in the Southern Hemisphere! You’ll also get to see bubbling mud pools and learn about Māori culture through traditional performances and beautiful carvings. It’s an experience that’s both relaxing and inspiring.
Day 4: Lakeside Stroll & Departure
On your final morning, take a slow walk along the shores of Lake Rotorua. There’s something incredibly calming about watching the mist rise off the lake, the birds going about their morning routine and steam from the nearby Kuirau Park peeking over the nearby hills. Snap a few pics and soak up the last moments of your robe-clad getaway before heading home feeling completely refreshed.
Time to Plan Your Own Robe Trip!
A robe trip isn’t just about wearing a robe (although, let’s be honest, that’s a big part of it). It’s about slowing down, indulging in a little self-care, and letting Rotorua’s natural beauty work its magic. So pack your robe, round up your favourite people, and get ready to experience relaxation like never before.
